MKA was originally formed in 1985 by Michael Kelly. Mike quickly established a reputation of the highest quality based on strong ethics and exceptional client service. He currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Association of Executive Search Consultants (www.aesc.org). Our philosophy is to work in partnership with our clients to develop detailed job requirements and assessment criteria. Through research, extensive reference checking, and market intelligence we produce the best candidates for each search. The MKA assessment methodology provides our clients with in-depth information on the candidate's motivation, ethics, reputation, and success factors. This process highlights key traits with which the client can compare candidates and enhance its selection process. Unlike many other search firms, with MKA the partners who form and maintain client relationships actually interview and screen the candidates. This differentiation ensures two important things: First, the partners performing the searches understand exactly what the client desires because they participate in the creation of the assessment criteria. Second, the senior candidates and sources we are contacting receive thorough and accurate information about the position and client company. By having our partners do the actual recruiting we select the best possible candidates, and importantly, present our clients in the most professional way possible. At MKA, we focus our efforts on providing swift and best results for our clients. Beginning with in-depth analysis of both the marketplace and the candidates, together with thorough research, reference checking and assessment, we produce the best candidates for each search and also provide useful market information during the hiring process.
